Keto Crunchy Thai Chicken Salad Bowl

There’s someone out there eating plain salad, with the worlds saddest most boring dressing, and I am here to save the day! Who cares about lettuce, I want the maximum number of flavor and toppings and I want it all without busting my macro’s for the day. This crunchy Thai style chicken salad bowl is the answer.

We take the time to marinate the chicken in garlic, ginger, chili, lemongrass, lime juice, and fish sauce. Then we nestle it on top of a cabbage heavy salad with mint and cilantro. Don’t forget to save half of the marinade, because we use it as the base for salad dressing – launching this awesome lunch into the stratosphere of deliciousness.
